TESTIMONIALS

Allison Conroy finishing Top 10 at the Great White North Triathlon, 2006.

"When I started training with Marilyn in April of 2006, I was a frustrated cyclist with little expectation of getting better. It seemed that no matter how many miles I put on, I was destined to be slow. I had no confidence, I no longer enjoyed training and was starting to fall apart… I was even thinking of quitting. Marilyn worked closely with me through all the ups and downs, and even helped me to reframe my thinking to use those downs as ups. She always inspired me and I’d always walk away stronger no matter what curve ball I was thrown. I started to approach training totally differently. My confidence grew and I started to really enjoy training: particularly the bike workouts. Previously a chronically injured athlete, we reduced my running miles and actually started running faster and with less effort. I even started looking forward to going to the pool. My first real test was Great White North, my first Half-Ironman ever. I was really worried at first but between Marilyn’s inspirational words and her expertise, I felt strong and confident going in. I had a race strategy and I was fitter than ever, but most importantly, I was way stronger mentally. I came in inside the top ten in 5:01, with a really strong bike leg… and I was beside myself. It was something I never imagined I would accomplish. I later finished Ironman Canada in 11:15, 2nd place in my age group and with a PB in all three disciplines. I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Marilyn’s experience, expertise or support. She has been critical to my success as an athlete and has made a hugely positive impact in all areas of my life. She is a truly special coach and I look forward to training with her through-out my career as an Ironman athlete."
